A THURSDAY WITH CBS

You never had to ask where your freight was.

This is one reefer load, Yakima to Portland, from the shipper’s chair. It is an example of the kind of day that happens on lanes we run every week. The names and the minutes are illustrative; the way it works is not.

  1. Picked up.Pre-cool verified at 34°F before the doors closed. You got one line: on time.
  2. Reefer alarm on I-84.The unit faulted near Hood River. You did not know yet. You did not need to.
  3. CST on the phone with the driver.Unit reset, temperature confirmed, a 40-minute delay accepted rather than a reject at the dock.
  4. You were told.New ETA 11:40, temp holding at 34°F, the truck’s position on your shipment page. One message, before you could ask.
  5. Delivered. Receiver signed.Two minutes inside the new window.
  6. POD on your page.Filed to the load. Billing moves on its own.

A team is awake on every load, all night, every night.

The Critical Support Team watches the board around the clock. Problems get solved before you hear about them, and you hear about them from us first.

What working with CST looks like
WE SHOW OUR WORK

Every answer comes with its receipt.

Most brokers ask you to trust them. We label every line a fact, a suggestion or an unknown, with the time it was checked. Every message to a customer is on the record. Every carrier verdict shows its reasons to the people who book it.

Why produce is the freight we built around

IN THEIR WORDS

What Customers Say

"The CST team has totally changed our freight broker experience. They manage our shipments like they're their own. Problems get solved before we even know about them."
L

Logistics Manager

Pacific Northwest Produce Company

"We've worked with a lot of brokers. CBS is different. Their response time is unreal, we literally get answers in seconds at times. It feels like we are all live at the same time."
D

Distribution Director

Regional Food Distributor

"I was skeptical about switching brokers. But after the first month, the difference was obvious. The communication is consistent, the updates are proactive, and they actually do what they say they'll do."
